Goal+Statement+2.0

=Goal Statement 2.0=

[ Overview ]
For this assignment, you will reflect on the goal statement you created at the beginning of the year in order to evaluate your progress toward achieving those goals. You will then create an updated goal statement for the remainder of this academic year.

[ Directions ]

 * 1) Re-read the goal statement you wrote earlier this year. Consider making reflective notes in the margins as you go.
 * 2) Create a plus/delta chart in your interactive notebook based on the progress you've made toward achieving the goals in your original goal statement. What successes/challenges have you had? What progress have you made, and what remains to be done?
 * 3) Do some brainstorming about what your goals will be for the remainder of this academic year. Depending on your progress, these may be entirely new goals, or they may be very similar to your initial goals. Choose one school-related goal and one personal (i.e. non-school-related) goal to write about.
 * 4) Create your rough draft in the RWWS folder of your Google Drive. Name it "Goal Statement 2.0." Its structure should be as follows:
 * Section 1: Reflection on original goals (i.e. information from your plus/delta chart)
 * Section 2: School goal -- explain importance and provide detailed, specific plan
 * Section 3: Personal goal -- explain importance and provide detailed, specific plan
 * 1) Conduct peer conferencing.
 * 2) Revise and edit your draft.
 * 3) Give your final draft a creative title that reflects its content.
 * 4) Have the completed final draft in your Google Drive ready for Mr. Smith to read on Monday, January 14.

[ Requirements ]

 * Your final draft must be in proper MLA format (i.e. 12 point Times New Roman font, double spacing, 1-inch margins).
 * Your final draft must be at least two pages in length.
 * You must include a reflection on the progress you have made toward your original goals.
